Hello and welcome to my second Deep Dive. This time I want to showcase this years rookies and therefore S66 SHL draftees. I want to highlight how their first regular season went and what we might come to expect from them moving forward.
For this we will be looking at different areas of expertise with the categories Points, Goals, Assists and TPE. We will also determine if they are a "recreate" or completely new player. I will refrain from using a rating system like in a Mock Draft, especially because there are differenct factors in play for different stats, like if you have a great supporting cast and more importantly I would have to rate myself and that would be awkward. The listing will be ordered by draft position instead.

Due to the sheer number of rookies and the deciation to the mentioned stats (no hits or blocks are listed here) we will just look at Offense players in this edition. We also ignore Released Players or Free Agent signings for this, as this Deep Dive is about the Draft Class SMJHL 65. 
If SHL teams want do dive deeper (hehe) into a player for their defensive capabilities or grades, they can do so. I am just here to provide a basic overview and possibly ease the scouting process.
